It would be someone who just brushs, bathes and maybe does some "secretary" type work. I just applied yesterday for an opening for one at my local Petco and they don't require experience. Petco also offers some kind of "schooling" so you can learn to become a regular groomer (do the actual cutting, clipping etc.) that's free for their grooming assistants (I'd imagine after working there for a while) but I haven't looked into that yet to see how good it would be. You can probably find something like that part-time
Check your local pet stores such as Petco, Pet-Smart that have a grooming service or maybe local vet offices (some do grooming, some don't). You could also probably call around to the different grooming shops in your area to even see if anyone would be willing to take you on as an apprentace part-time to help with their bathing and brushing and clean-up. It's prob. not going to pay much, but as a little PT job (that's all I'm needing right now) it'll give you some experience at least with the handling and bathing of other breeds of dogs
Hope you can find something
